We are presenting you a chapter from the book Miracles of Love and Wisdom. You can access more chapters of this book at: http://www.HolisticHarmony.com/ebooks/index.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * GOD IS IN EVERYONE I SEE * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Look around you. What you see is creation. There is a cause for this creation. There is a Creator of this creation. The Divine Creator however, is continuously creating, sustaining and expressing through this creation. The Divine Cause is the only ultimate, unchanging truth. Everything else is a temporary modification, expression, projection or aspect of that one Being, which we call God. "God", in the ultimate reality, is neither male nor female, nor a being in the way we are used to perceiving beings. God is pure consciousness, which is the basic reality in every object, being and situation. God is the creating power, which is creating all in every moment. I use the word creating rather than creative power because it is important to get free of the belief that God is a being who created the world and then left it to continue on by itself while watching on. God is the power that is continuously creating the world. If this creative power stopped, the world would simply cease to exist, just as in the case of the movie projector when the light goes out and the movie stops. The light doesn?t start the movie and then sit back and rest, it must continually shine in order for the movie to continue to be projected. In the same way, everything that we see is the present projection of the One Divine Consciousness that we call God. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Understanding this truth is the key to real and lasting peace and happiness. It is the key to real seeing. Remembering this one fact will enable us to love ourselves and others unconditionally, for we, and all others, are simply manifestations of the same God. We are all united in that same divine consciousness which is expressing itself through each of us. We are in fact one being. This truth is the key to human unity, peace and cooperation between nations and religions. This truth is the key that will release us from ignorance, suffering, pain and the cycle of birth and death. It is the key to enlightenment. It is the only thing that we have to know. Everything else is superfluous. We tend to believe that spiritual truths are secret and complicated. We want to learn about formulas, hierarchies and complicated relationships between aspects of the physical and spiritual worlds. The more complicated a system is, the more we are duped into believing it must really be something special. These at best are complicated semi-truths. The truth is simple - everything is God. There is only one being. Everything we see is an expression of this one being. This is all that we need to know in order to become free, happy and truly creative beings. The great spiritual beings taught love for all beings, including ourselves. It is that simple. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THE WORD ?GOD? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * What are some ways in which we can describe what we mean by God? No description can succeed in defining that which is beyond time, space and creation itself, and thus also beyond our mental comprehension and description. But let us try to use some metaphors, which might help us feel that, which we cannot comprehend intellectually. We use the word God to describe the prime cause of all that exists. We are referring to the cause that has no other cause. It is the cause for all and everything is a result of it. That means it is impossible for there to exist an object, being, event or situation in all this creation which is not created by the One Creating Power which we call God. As mentioned earlier, we also use the word God to refer to the sustaining power behind all objects, beings and events. It is that power which is holding everything together and preventing it from falling apart. There is a law of nature called entropy. This law states that the tendency of this physical universe is to continually move towards a condition of greater and greater dispersion, towards greater chaos. God is the power that holds the electrons, protons and neutrons together. It is the power that holds all atoms and molecules, crystals, cells, tissues, organs and beings intact. When that divine power leaves a being of any type, it starts to decompose. We are able to live in these physical bodies, and function as we do, because we are that power of God living in these bodies. When we, as that power, leave the bodies, they will decompose. When St. Paul was in Athens, he spoke of God (Acts 17.24). "God who made the world and everything in it, is Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in man made temples. Nor does He need anything that we can supply by working for Him, since it is He Himself who gives life and breath and everything else to everyone. From one man He created all the races of mankind and made them live throughout the whole earth. He Himself fixed beforehand the exact times and the limits of places they would live. He did this so that they would look for Him and perhaps find Him as they felt about for Him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us; as someone said, ?In Him we live and move and have our being.? It is as some of your poets have said, ?We too are His children.?" We live, move and evolve in God. The Divine is like space itself. We live in space. We live in the divine. Space is within us. The Divine is within us. The concept of space, which is omnipresent and undisturbed by whatever happens within it, may be a useful metaphor for some. Everything that happens, happens in space, in God. Space is not in any way affected by what happens in it. It remains as neutral space. God too is unaffected by what we do. God is Love. Whatever we do, that Love remains unchanged. There is nothing we can ever do to stop God from being Love and thus from loving us. God is the power of love which unites us. The more we love, the more we accelerate this process of peace and harmony among all beings, including animals and plants. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * GOD AS CONSCIOUSNESS * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Consciousness is an excellent metaphor for God. Take for example our own consciousness. We function consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously. Unconsciously all our bodily needs are taken care of. Without thinking, we care for all our bodily needs. Our cells in turn perform all functions so that we may live, think, speak, feel and act. Our unconscious mind regulates our breathing, blood flow, digestion and absorption of food elements, the growth of cells, their destruction, decomposition and removal from the body, and protects us from foreign bodies. Literally millions of functions take place without our thinking about them. We are like cells in the body of God. As cells exist within our bodies, we exist in God. As we care without effort for our cells, the divine consciousness cares without any effort whatsoever for its trillions of beings. In the event of some problem in some part of our body, the body informs us through a message such as pain or discomfort, and we attend to it. In the same way, when a being in the body of God is having a serious problem and sends a message in the form of a prayer, the divine consciousness attends to the situation in the form of Divine Grace. Cells are born and die in our body without our being disturbed. This is essential for the maintenance of a healthy body. In the same way, the Divine Being is not disturbed by the birth and death of billions of beings. The one consciousness, which is supporting all this life, goes on undisturbed. In this way, those who are upset with God, because "He did not prevent the death of one of their loved ones", should ask themselves why they are not preventing the death of thousands of cells in their own bodies everyday. Our consciousness continues independent of this process of birth and death. We are immortal consciousness and can never die. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE DIVINE AS LIGHT * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Another good metaphor for God, or consciousness, is the light of the movie projector. God is the pure white light of the projector lamp. This pure white light passes through the film and projects form and color. If the image on that section of the film has thousands of people and animals on it, then the white light which is God appears like thousands of people and animals on the screen. Are there really all these beings, or is there only the illusion of all these beings which is created by the one pure light passing through the film? In the same way, God is the divine light or consciousness which, when it passes through the causal body, or the morphogenetic field of the universal soul, expresses itself as the world that we know. As that consciousness flows through the causal body of each individual being, it creates the mental, energy and physical body of that being as a projection on earth. In this sense, as it is said in the Bhagavad Gita, all hands, all feet are His. Thus God is both unmanifest and manifest. In this example, God is light. The pure white light, before passing through the film, is His unmanifest nature, and after it passes through the film (the causal-mental aspect), the rays are now colored and broken. This is our astral and energy nature. When the light falls upon the screen it creates specific images. Thus God is pure consciousness, thought, energy and matter. All these are various aspects of the one consciousness expressing itself in varying densities and vibrations. If we interfere with the screen or the light flowing towards the screen, there may seem to be a catastrophe on the screen (the material world) but this divine consciousness, which is the only permanent reality here, is unaffected. If there is no light, there are no images. If there are images, there must be light. Thus there can be no image that is not a projection of the one light. There can be no object, being or situation which is not a projection of the one divine consciousness. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * STEAM - WATER - ICE * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Another metaphor, which might be helpful to some, is that of the three states of water: gas, liquid and solid. Steam is without form or limitation. It is like the unmanifest. As it is cooled, it starts to become denser and forms a liquid that has less degrees of freedom, but is still a flowing medium. We have the same substance in two different forms. The state of steam may be related to the state of consciousness. Thus consciousness becomes more concrete taking the form of thought, feelings and energy. If we cool it even more in various molds, each having a different shape, we then will get different looking forms of ice which have no fluidity or freedom of movement. That one invisible gas has now become separate, different-looking blocks of ice. In the same way the one divine consciousness manifests itself as what seems to be trillions of separate, different and unrelated objects and beings, which occupy our world. All those blocks of ice are in reality simply HÇO, the same essence that was previously expressing itself as a liquid and gas. Thus, all material objects, including our bodies, are Divine Essence in ?solid? form. All thoughts, feelings and energies are Divine Essence in ?liquid? form. The Divine is not limited to any particular object. The tendency to limit God to forms, which we have been conditioned to consider more holy than others, such as icons, statues, churches, temples, or holy men, can limit our ability to perceive higher aspects of the Divine. All of these can serve as focal points which help us emotionally and mentally to tune in to the omnipresent essence of the Divine. The Divine is equally everywhere, and we limit It by identifying It with an icon or holy man. This reminds me of the story of the wandering monk who stopped near a temple and sat under a tree to eat an orange and rest. Soon he saw a priest running towards him from the temple, shouting at him, "shame on you for sitting with your legs outstretched towards the temple and your feet towards God". The monk looked at him sincerely in the eyes and answered, "yes my brother, I agree, but please help me and show me where God is not, so that I can stretch my legs in that direction". * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE SEA AND THE WAVE * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This is an ancient Eastern metaphor for relating man to God. Man is like the wave. God, the universal consciousness, is the sea. The wave is simply a temporary manifestation of the sea. It is the sea itself that has taken a separate form for a short period of time. That form then dissolves and again becomes a part of the sea. Both the sea and the wave are water. Man is a temporary manifested part of the Divine. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE SUN AND ITS MANY REFLECTIONS * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Another example is that of the sun?s light, which is reflected in thousands of bodies of water - all appearing to be separate and different. The reflection in each body of water appears to differ, depending on the depth, the color, the quantity of various particles, the movement and various other aspects of the water, but the real sun, which is being reflected, is one and the same. There are not a thousand different suns as there appear to be in the thousand reflections. There is only one sun that appears to be reflecting differently in each container. In the same way, the one divine consciousness appears to reflect differently through each causal body and creates the impression of there being many separate and unrelated beings, whereas the one light is the reality in all those different reflections. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE CENTER AND THE SPOKES * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Imagine a center from which many spokes are radiating outward. The further outward these spokes or rays move, the more the distance between them. As we move towards the center, the rays converge. The center is God, the universal consciousness. We are each a ray flowing outward from that center. As we move towards the superficial aspects of our being, meaning our body, and are at the point furthest from the center, there is the greatest distance between us and the other rays. As we move towards the center of our being, which is common to all spokes, we come to our more subtle bodies such as our energy body, mental body, higher intellect and causal body. As we move inwards, the distance between our ray and the other rays decreases. When we arrive at the center of our being from which we originated, we arrive simultaneously at the center of all rays. The center of our being is the center of all beings. Thus the Divine Source is in every being. We need to look beyond the body, appearance and personality, to that which lies beyond them. In order to do this we will have to practice looking into the center of our own being. Then we will be able to perceive the same essence in others. The following technique will help us to bring this truth of God?s omnipresence into our daily experience. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TECHNIQUE * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Many times each hour remember to look around you and mentally repeat as you perceive each object, "God is in this______". Every time your eyes fall on any object, being or situation, repeat impartially that "God is in this________." Do not avoid repeating it for any particular thing, no matter how negative it may appear to you, and do not focus more on any particular object, unless you have difficulty in imagining the divinity in that. In addition to that, stop for two minutes 5 or 6 times a day and close your eyes and observe your various thoughts. With each thought, repeat the phrase: God is in this thought about______. God is in my mind". Do this for all thoughts independently of whether they seem positive or negative to you. Do not be the judge as to where God is. He ? She - It is everywhere. Do not forget to include yourself while repeating this phrase. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (In most cases we will also benefit by removing the resulting energy fields of negativity and fear with Energy Psychology as described in the book Free to be Happy with Energy Psychology.)
